a dark congregation of familiar faces gathered around the quiet earth a red rose fell upon the soft snow prayers were whispered so slow from our mouths our breath rose in the cold like a hundred souls escaping

save me i am swallowed by the guilt of this (you’re gone) sleeping in the dust we will not let time erase us

we are surrounded by all of the quiet sleepers inside the quiet earth i feel that i cannot shape you dare to kiss the face of the night our lips were cold as clay we couldn’t speak anyway

save me i am swallowed by the guilt of this (you’re gone) sleeping in the dust we will not let time erase us

our breath rose in the cold like a hundred souls we, we are alone i know you’re gone

save me i am swallowed by the guilt of this (you’re gone) sleeping in the dust we will not let time erase us
